Best roast lunch out in a long time. After reading previous reviews we were a litttle sceptical, however its recently changed hands and the staff friendly and welcoming, nothing too much trouble, will definately be visiting again to sample the rest of the menu.

We visited the Rising Sun to find it was under new managment. The landlord made us welcome, and the staff stopped to chat. I hope they do well in the future as this lovely village deserves a great pub.

When I visited in April 2013 new owner-managers had just taken over, so all the previous reviews don't hold much weight anymore. There were definitely no families of dogs to be seen anywhere.

Really interested where we came from and the area we were visiting. Nothing was too much trouble. We can't comment on the evening meals but... More

Went here for a meal one evening with friends. Food was good. Not particularly welcoming though. Loo was plastered with mildew. Probably wouldn't bother to go there again although the food was quite decent and good value for money.

The land lord was a great laugh the staff were so friendly and coudnt do enough for us. the food was to die for especially the lamb rump on the specials board and the thurday steak night the best steak i have ever had. maybe that last comment they should have had meat lol. but our friends had the mushroom...
